A dedicated police officer in Signal seeks assistance from a detective from a different era, heightening the mystery of a cold case that defies the bounds of time. Recent rumors suggest that the highly acclaimed crime K-drama might potentially receive a Season 2.
In 2016, Lee Je-hoon, renowned for his role in Taxi Driver, portrayed the character of Park Hae-young, a criminal profiler and Lieutenant in Signal. Hae-young continues to be haunted by a distressing event from his past, where he was a witness to the abduction and subsequent death of a friend. Despite his account of seeing a woman responsible, the authorities dismissed his claims, insisting it was a male perpetrator.

It dawns on him that the person on the other end is none other than Detective Jae-han from the year 2000. Joining forces, the two detectives utilize the walkie-talkie to uncover valuable clues leading to the true identity of the killer.
Fans of Signal passionately embraced the series and eagerly awaited a Season 2, yet the show appeared to be stagnant. However, the beloved K-drama has now tantalized fans with a glimpse of the long-awaited crime thriller.

The initial tweet, featuring a conference snapshot of Kim, has been removed, however, the quoted tweet discloses that the author disclosed the development of Season 2 and its imminent release. It remains uncertain whether the original cast will make a comeback.
